| Title | Inadequate Compensatory Measures for Out of Service Plant Vent Process Radiation Monitor |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.54, Conditions of Licenses, paragraph (q), because Entergy staff did not implement adequate compensatory measures when the R-27 plant vent process radiation monitor, which is used for emergency action level (EAL) classification, was taken out of service. Specifically, between October 25, 2010 and November 24, 2010, the R-27 monitor was out of service for repair following preventive maintenance with inadequate compensatory measures regarding the impact on EAL classification capability. Entergy personnel implemented shortterm corrective actions by providing adequate compensatory instructions for the operating crews. The issue was entered into Entergy\'s CAP as CRlP-2010-06721 which includes longer-term corrective actions regarding emergency preparedness procedure changes. This finding is more than minor because it affected the Emergency Response Organization attribute of the Emergency Preparedness (EP) cornerstone to ensure that the Entergy personnel are capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the public health and safety in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not provide adequate compensatory measures for when the R-27 plant vent monitors were taken out of service. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). Using IMC 0609, Appendix B, Section 4.9 and Sheet 1, Failure to Comply, the inspectors determined that the failure to comply with an aspect of the Emergency Plan related to event classification (10 CFR 50.47(b)(4)) was a risk-significant planning standard (RSPS) problem; but it was not a RSPS functional failure of the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) event classification process. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program attribute of taking appropriate corrective actions to address safety issues in a timely manner. Specifically, Entergy staff did not take appropriate emergency planning compensatory corrective actions when the R-27 plant vent radiation monitor was taken out of service. |
